Black browed #albatross on West Point Island, #Falkland Islands. Beautiful birds, I watched them coming and going for hours, makes and females reconnecting after months of separation, rubbing beaks and saying hello. Finally got the shot I wanted at the end of the day, #intimacy and #emotion in the animal kingdom. Yes, anthropomorphizing, but justifiably in this case. #nofilter #latergram

Taken the morning of May 1, 1999 as our team left Camp V on the North Ridge of #Everest to conduct and initial search of the upper north face. Little did we know that a few hours later @conrad_anker would discover the remains of George Mallory at 27,000 feet, and that we’d spend the better part of the day with a hero, a myth, and a legend. Still one of the most poignant moments for me on Everest ever. Thank you @conrad_anker, @onestepatatime59, @dharmabum333, @internationalmountainguides, Dave Hahn, Tap Richards, Jochen Hemmleb, and more.

Thinking of all those affected by the massive #icefall on Mount #Everest early this morning. Reports from Alan Arnette and elsewhere indicate likely 13 Sherpa killed with three still missing. Very sad day, and my heart goes out to all the victims.

Stars arc over the #Khumbu Icefall and Basecamp on Mount #Everest, Nepal. It was a busy season there in 2012 when @davidcmorton, @charlesmace, Brent Bishop and I (with @graysonwyatt at Base camp) were trying the West Ridge, and will be even busier this season with feature films, wing suits, fundraisers, and more going on. Good luck to all this season! #latergram #archives @eddiebauer
